| Accepted Name |
| Peptidylglycine monooxygenase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| PAM. |
| Peptidyl alpha-amidating enzyme. |
| Peptidylglycine 2-hydroxylase. |
| Peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| Peptidylglycine + ascorbate + O(2) <=> peptidyl(2-hydroxyglycine) + dehydroascorbate + H(2)O |
| Cofactor(s) |
| Copper.
|
| Comment(s) |
- Peptidylglycines with a neutral amino acid residue in the penultimate
position are the best substrates for the enzyme.
- The product is unstable and dismutates to glyoxylate and the
corresponding desglycine peptide amide, a reaction catalyzed by
EC 4.3.2.5.
- Involved in the final step of biosynthesis of alpha-melanotropin and
related biologically active peptides.
